Man arrested after making excessive 911 calls

A man has been charged with making false 911 calls. Authorities say he made 292 false 911 calls since the beginning of the month.

Authorities said 21-year-old Cheveon Alonzo Ford was arrested on Tuesday.

They said Ford told deputies he made the calls because he didn't have any minutes on his phone and that 911 is a free call.

Authorities used global positioning coordinates to track the phone.

Ford was being held on a $50,000 bond at the Escambia County Jail.
